A woman died after she fell head first into an industrial meat grinder at work.

Jill Greninger, 35, is believed to have been killed ‘instantly’ in the accident at the Economy Locker Storage Company in Muncy, Pennsylvania on Monday morning.

Coroner Charles Kiessling told the Williamsport Sun-Gazzette that Greninger had been seen standing on a set of stairs on wheels before she fell into the commercial meat grinder.

No one directly witnessed the horrific accident and Kiessling said: ‘We don’t know if she fell in or was pulled in as she was perhaps reaching for something in the grinder, which was 6 feet off the ground.’

Another employee said they called for help when they discovered Greninger after heard ‘strange noises’ coming from the machine, Kiessling said.
